Java: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Question

I have a class that will download a file from a https server. When I run it, it returns a lot of errors. It seems that I have a problem with my certificate

Answer 1

Had the issue like this image.

Tried a few solutions. But found that even if it's same project, when it's on other one's working place, it's totally fine. No extra settings needed. So we guessed it's an enviroment issue. We tried changing JDK version, IDE but didn't work. it took about 4 hours for investigation, until we tried the top-rated answer. I didn't find the error mentioned in that answer but I found via my browser about HTTP URL (lock) that there was a certification of Charles. Then I realized my charles was on all the time. As long as I turned that off, it's working all fine.

So I left my experience that could be helpful for your case.
